In the wake of authoritarian Viktor Orbán’s political defeat over the weekend, Hungary’s newly elected prime minister, Péter Magyar, is looking to sever his government’s financial ties to the influential pro-Trump activist group the Conservative Political Action Conference.
In the other direction, there’s been reporting on efforts by Trump officials, like State Department undersecretary Sarah Rogers, to name one, to fund far-right groups in Hungary and elsewhere. Rogers met last November with members of an Orbán-backed Hungarian propaganda group that was connected to CPAC Hungary.
It’s easy to see how Orbán’s loss could prove injurious to the MAGA movement in a variety of ways. With the downfall of Trump’s favorite authoritarian, the U.S. conservative movement appears to be losing its free rein (and apparently some financing) to use Hungary as an ideological testing ground.
